Jessica's immediate meal ticket doesn't rely on government, so she's out to impress those who pay her salary.<br /><br /> Fessica's story was dated and captioned as... <br />"Sunday, July 05, 2009<br /> <br />Are Australian pensioners really impoverished?<br /><br />By Jessica Brown<br /><br />(For American readers: "Pensioners" are government-supported retired people)"Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07470604075638563673noreply@blogger.com
